==History==
(contracted; show full)auty, generally consisting of great towers stretching into the sky, and their construction, made almost entirely of metal. Dwemer ruins, especially those in or around Red Mountain, are extremely hot, owing to their metal walls and, often, large vats of molten rock. Dwemer doors are usually circular, often with some sort of design or ingraving on them. Dwemer buildings are generally filled with a larger concentration of great machines- most accessible areas of Dwemer cities have boilers in every other room.
 Many adventurers have created tunnels and/or found caves that lead to secret entrances deep into the Dwemer ruins.

Dwemer cities are designed around the principle of the Four Tests. The first test, the Test of Pattern, requires the person to observe the situation before acting, so as to understand that many patterns are subtle or hidden. The second, the Test of Disorder, requires the person to proceed systematically when they recognize the pattern. The third test, the Test of Evasion, requires the person to, if he is unable to get through the obstacle, find a way around it. The fourth, and final test, the Test of Confrontation, requires the person to finally take action.

==Artifacts==
Dwemer artifacts are highly prized throughout the Empire, although since they are technically the property of the emperor, the sale of them is illegal. Dwemer weapons and armor are especially valued, renowned for their excellent craftsmanship and sturdy design. However, acquisition of these artifacts is highly dangerous, because of the remote location of the ruins, and the multitude of Dwemer constructs within, including the Steam Centurion, as well as traps on many of the doors in the cities, which often take an unwary adventurer by surprise.
